If you’re using Microsoft Office 2013 and are considering purchasing it for additional computers, you should consider getting an Office 365 subscription. We have written about some of the benefits of purchasing Office in that format, and it is especially good for people that need multiple installations of the new Office version.
Outlook 2013 Signature Link to a Website, Facebook or Twitter
Putting a link in your Outlook 2013 signature is a helpful way to market a contact preference that you like to use. If you’re a big Facebook user and your page benefits your work a lot, then including that Facebook link provides a subtle hint that your email contacts should go there. So once you have decided what link you are going to include in your Outlook 2013 signature (and if you are having trouble deciding, just include all of them!) you are ready to edit your signature to include that link. Step 1: Launch Outlook 2013. Step 2: Click the Home tab at the top of the window, then click the new Email button in the New section of the ribbon. Step 3: Click the Message tab at the top of the window. Step 4: Click the Signature drop-down menu in the Include section of the ribbon, then click the Signatures option. Step 5: Click your signature in the Select signature to edit section. Step 6: Type the text to which you want to add the link (this is called anchor text), then highlight it with your mouse. Step 7: Click the Hyperlink button at the right side of the window. Step 8: Type the address of your link into the Address field, then click the OK button. Step 9: Click the OK button at the bottom of the Signatures and Stationery window to save your changes.
